Watch this movie and let me explain why there were no explosives
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cd6ibu8dafw...

1. The puffs of smoke they target in the beginning: While the buildings are still up they are filled with air and smoke right? well when they collapse where does that air go? it finds the most convirnient path out. the small targets zoom in to only some of the puffs cuz the resolution isn't good enough, so you can't see all the others.

2. True, they were built in three sections, but they weren't solid concrete and steel, there was a lot of rooms for matinence like heating, cooling, water, etc. Even if it was solid concrete, the mass and speed [momentum] would be way to much for those to withstand. There is no way it would just stop it and send it down to the street.

3. The firemen say they saw a lot of puffs of smoke as they fell down, this proves my first point they there were a lot as the buildings fell, but the movie makes it seem like there were only a few.

If you were to charge a flat percent tax to all people, wealthy people would still be paying more taxes then less wealthy people.

Doesn't that punish hard working billionaires like Paris Hilton? Isn't taxing rich people more because they have more money a bad thing?

Isn't that still a redistribution of wealth since, most of the tax money is still coming from the have mores then the have less?

Why is my flat fee tax not a better solution?

Is it because I consider all I am not to be part of me and am that it is a part of me not me external or internal of me and or in the case of other a variant of his creation, rather an entitiy or big bang still a singularity of all that exists, existed, ever will exist. So that Al Qaeda I am and Bush I am AND ALL YOU I AM, Gods Beast, and I mark you all as mine.

So is it because I speak truth and say all is mine that I get punished? Or is there another reason I do not know? Please do not laugh at me, this is a serious question, I have trouble understanding and do not like getting jerked. I am sensitive and damage easy, be nice. Please. In Jesus namesake I ask you.

Please help. I work in a nursing home and workers were only allowed to smoke outside in the garden anyway, but since the smoking law the matron has now decided that you are not allowed to smoke in either the front or back garden, which basically means you have to stand over the road to smoke, there is no problem with that. We have rules on tea breaks, where you are not allowed to leave the prememsis, but on lucnh breaks you can go out, so now you are only allowed to smoke on your lunch break as this is the only time you can leave the building. Can the (non smoking) matron just start this new rule about not smoking on tea breaks, surley you are allowed to smoke in the back garden and no one can stop you.
Please Help!

He wasn't even a senator back then. Sure, he can say it now, but would he really been one of the few that had opposed the war?

There's no way this guy is still alive. He probably just didn't die in any kind of "honorable" way so they are keeping him as a rallying cry for Al Qaeda.

I bet he either died in one of our bombing attacks or of natural causes

One that will prevent all the little amnesty measures being attached to other bills, one that says "this is the way to be legal, and only this way"

And while we're at it let's tackle the abuses of the H1b visa program by requiring companies to sponsor college students and throw in special grants for students who sign work contracts.

So to speak. What are the domestic plans?

2007-07-24 10:40:04 · 6 answers · asked by lvillejj 4 in Military

My boyfriend and I were dating for a little over a year. Last December he got his first charge of domestic assualt for attacking me. Since it wasn't that severe (punching me, biting my nose open, kicking me, etc…) it's a misdemeanor. He goes to court for it tomorrow. His 2nd case was 4 weeks ago for punching me and choking me. The final straw occurred last weekend where he was punching me in the forehead and almost bit my finger off. He didn't get arrested this last time since the cops couldn't find him hiding out in my attic (SCARY!!!). This time it is a felony offense of domestic assault based on the severity. He is wanted in the city that I live in. For the first two offenses, the cases were picked up by the county. For the most recent incident, the State is picking up the charges. What do you think the likelihood is that he will be incarcerated? He has an extensive criminal background, although he isn't on probation or parole currently.

I heard about a woman whose son was killed in Iraq, and during his funeral, she allegedly pulled the American flag off her son's casket and replaced it with the flag of Puerto Rico, since that's where he was from. Supposedly, she now has to go to court for disrespecting the American flag. Does anyone have a link to this story?

I say if we would have let the generals do their job this would be going a lot better. Politicians suck at running wars because they are always worried about trying to get re-elected, party loyalties, etc.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was arrested Monday at the Capitol for disorderly conduct, shortly after saying she would run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the California Democrat's refusal to try to impeach President Bush.

Sheehan was taken into custody inside Rep. John Conyers' office, where she had spent an hour imploring him to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Conyers, D-Michigan, chairs the House Judiciary Committee, where any impeachment effort would have to begin.

Specifically, I am looking for answers that touch on the scenario where you have one country under the thumb of a powerful and ruthless dictator who really represents 35% of the people from a sectarian point of view with the rest of the country being really other ethnic or religious groups who are not conducive to working well together and are perhaps chomping at the bit to get at each other and settle centuries old grudges that the dictator had kept in check.

Take into consideration as well that neigboring countries who had been long time enemies of the invaded country would look to move in and take advantage of the power vaccum created unpon the deposition of the evil dictator to exert their influence on that countries affairs.
Finally, consider also that the invading country has enemis that might want to flock to the occupied country to make mischief and make try to disrupt the invaders' plans.

These top Democrats are always saying that they know what the American people are thinking or wanting. Im a Democrat, and an American, and they dont speak for me...on anything. If they spoke for me, they would actually try to do something besides investigate and call names. Of the six things the Democrats promised and ran on last election, they have only accomplished one.

Remember lacy peterson, or the lady a few weeks back that was killed by her boyfriend cop? A pregnant woman get's killed and it is charged as a double murder, yet if the same woman were to have an abortion then everything would be ok? I'm not arguing prolife/ prochoice!! I want to know your thoughts on the real or perceived hypocracy. If you didn't want it killed then it is murder but if you do want it killed then it's an abortion? Who makes that call? It's not a life if the woman decideds to terminate the pregnancy, but if someone terminates the pregnancy then it is murder? Similarly, I read a case in colorado where a woman was charged with murder after cocaine was found in the system of her miscarried child. So if she would have had an abortion it would have been ok to end the "life" but since her drug use lead to the death we'll call that murder. Does this make any sense? Comment on the hypocracy, not the prolife/ prochoice...your thoughts....
